This panel explores the interplay between different stakeholders who become involved in a corporate crisis as it evolves and their different roles and perspective. The panel addresses how to balance the necessity of transparent and quick communication with the public and the different perspective needed when defending the corporate against civil claims or dealing with regulatory or criminal inquiries. The intention is to use a case study or scenario, and through that, discuss what roles corporate counsel, outside counsel and other stakeholders play; from when the crisis hits until the corporation begins to move on from it despite there – often – being years of litigation and investigation following thereafter.
